従来、RFIDインレットを内蔵した(RFID)ラベルに印字部にて所望の情報を印字したのち被貼付物に貼付するようなRFIDラベル貼付装置が知られている。 しかしながら、RFIDインレットを内蔵したラベルに印字する際、特に、ICチップ部分が出っ張っているため、印字不良を起こす場合があった。 出っ張ったICチップ部分の印字不良を避けるべく、RFIDインレットに情報を書き込んで貼り付けるRFIDインレット貼付機と、このRFIDインレットの内容を目視可能に印字して前記RFIDインレットの上に重ねて貼り付けるラベル貼付機とを、ベルトコンベアの流れ方向に並設したRFID貼付装置が知られている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。 しかしながら、特許文献1では、RFIDインレットを貼付物に貼り付けるRFIDインレット貼付機と、ラベル貼付機とをベルトコンベアの流れ方向に並設する必要があるため貼付機の設置場所が2台分必要となり、場合によっては設置場所の拡張が必要になるという問題がある。 また、IC用紙のICチップの近傍位置を避けて印字を行うことで、印字動作におけるICチップの損傷及び印字不良を防止した印字装置がある(例えば、特許文献2参照)。 しかしながら、特許文献2における印字は、IC用紙の他面にICチップの位置情報を記録したバーコードを予め印刷し、このバーコードを読み取り、かつ、読取装置により読み取られた位置情報に基づいてICチップの位置を印字禁止領域にするとともに、印字禁止領域と印字データが重なるか否かを判断手段にて判断し、重なると判断された場合には印字禁止領域に印字データが重ならない印字レイアウトに変更するなど、ICチップを避けるためにICチップの位置情報を予め印刷する必要があり、かつ、場合によっては印字レイアウトを変更するため、所望のレイアウトにて印字できないという問題があった。  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an RFID label affixing device is known in which desired information is printed on a (RFID) label containing an RFID inlet by a printing unit and then affixed to an object to be adhered. However, when printing on a label with a built-in RFID inlet, especially the IC chip portion is protruding, which may cause printing failure. An RFID inlet pasting machine that writes and pastes information on the RFID inlet to avoid printing defects on the protruding IC chip portion, and a label that prints the contents of the RFID inlet visibly and overlays the RFID inlet. An RFID sticking device in which sticking machines are arranged in parallel in the flow direction of a belt conveyor is known (for example, see Patent Document 1). However, in Patent Document 1, it is necessary to install the RFID inlet pasting machine for pasting the RFID inlet on the sticking object and the label sticking machine in parallel in the flow direction of the belt conveyor, so two places for installing the pasting machines are required. In some cases, there is a problem that the installation location needs to be expanded. Also, there is a printing apparatus that prevents damage to the IC chip and printing failure in the printing operation by performing printing while avoiding the position near the IC chip of the IC paper (see, for example, Patent Document 2). However, the printing in Patent Document 2 is performed by printing a barcode on which the IC chip position information is recorded on the other side of the IC paper in advance, reading the barcode, and based on the position information read by the reading device. In addition to setting the chip position as a print prohibited area, the judgment means determines whether the print prohibited area and print data overlap. For example, the position information of the IC chip needs to be printed in advance in order to avoid the IC chip, such as a change, and the print layout is changed depending on the case. *

本発明に係るRFID連続体は、長尺状の台紙の識別マーク間に粘着剤層を介してRFIDインレットおよび表示用ラベルを順次仮着して成り、別個に設けたRFIDインレットおよび表示用ラベルを重ねた状態でRFIDラベルが形成されるため、印字時、凹凸による印字不良が起きにくいという効果がある。 また、第2の発明に係るRFID連続体は、長尺状の台紙の識別マーク間に粘着剤層を介して第1および第2のRFIDインレット、並びに表示用ラベルを順次
仮着し、別個に設けた第1および第2のRFIDインレットを重ならないように隣接して貼り付け、かつ、第1および第2のRFIDインレットを覆うように表示用ラベルを重ねた状態でRFIDラベルが形成されるため、一つの連続体で2種類のRFIDに対応でき、かつ、印字時、凹凸による印字不良が起きにくいという効果がある。 さらに、第1または第2のRFIDインレットの一方を高周波帯域用のアンテナ、また、他方を低周波帯域用のアンテナを備えるようにすれば、低周波および高周波の異なる周波数帯域での交信が実現可能となる。 また、第3の発明に係るRFID貼付装置は、RFID読取り・書込み手段にて所望の情報を書込んだRFIDインレットを剥離手段にて剥離し、搬送手段を搬送される被貼付物に貼り付けるとともに、RFIDインレットに書込んだ所望の情報のうちの一部を、台紙上で連続する表示用ラベルにRFIDインレットが形成されていない状態で目視可能に印字するので凹凸による印字不良が発生せず、さらに、RFIDインレットを覆うように重ねて表示用ラベルを貼り付け、RFIDインレットおよび表示用ラベルが物品に重ねて貼付された状態で、いわば、「RFIDラベル」が形成されることになるため、1台で印字品質を高めた「貼付装置」が実現できるという効果がある。 また、第4の発明に係るRFID貼付方法は、長尺状の台紙の識別マーク間の表面に粘着剤層を介して第1のRFIDインレットおよび第2のRFIDインレット、並びに表示用ラベルを順次仮着して成るRFID付き連続体を用い、第1および第2のRFIDインレット対し異なる第1及び第2の周波数帯域を用いた第1および第2のRFID読取り・書込み手段にて所望の情報を書き込むので、異なる周波数帯域のRFIDインレットに対応できるという効果がる。 また、識別マーク間に、第1および第2のRFIDインレット、並びに表示用ラベルを連続して仮着しているので、物品に対し連続した貼り付けが可能であり、しかも、被貼付物に対し第1および第2のRFIDインレットを重ならないよう隣接して貼り付けるとともに、この第1および第2のRFIDインレットを覆うように表示ラベルを重ねて貼り付けることにより「RFIDラベル」が形成されることになり、1枚の表示ラベルで異なる周波数帯域に対応するため、物品に対する読取り・書込み態様が拡大するという効果がある。 
The RFID continuum according to the present invention is formed by sequentially attaching an RFID inlet and a display label sequentially through an adhesive layer between identification marks on a long board, and separately providing an RFID inlet and a display label. Since the RFID label is formed in a stacked state, there is an effect that a printing defect due to unevenness hardly occurs during printing. In addition, the RFID continuous body according to the second invention is such that the first and second RFID inlets and the display label are sequentially and temporarily attached via the adhesive layer between the identification marks of the long mount. Because the RFID label is formed in a state where the provided first and second RFID inlets are affixed adjacent to each other so as not to overlap and the display labels are overlapped so as to cover the first and second RFID inlets. One continuum can deal with two types of RFIDs, and has an effect that printing failure due to unevenness hardly occurs during printing. Furthermore, if one of the first or second RFID inlet is equipped with an antenna for a high frequency band and the other is equipped with an antenna for a low frequency band, communication in different frequency bands of low frequency and high frequency can be realized. It becomes. An RFID sticking apparatus according to a third aspect of the invention is to peel off an RFID inlet in which desired information has been written by an RFID reading / writing means by means of a peeling means, and stick the conveying means to an object to be conveyed. In addition, since some of the desired information written in the RFID inlet is printed visibly in a state where the RFID inlet is not formed on the display label continuous on the mount, printing defects due to unevenness do not occur, Further, since the display label is pasted so as to cover the RFID inlet, and the RFID inlet and the display label are stuck on the article, a so-called “RFID label” is formed. There is an effect that it is possible to realize a “sticking device” with improved printing quality on a table. The RFID sticking method according to the fourth aspect of the present invention sequentially attaches the first RFID inlet, the second RFID inlet, and the display label to the surface between the identification marks on the long mount through the adhesive layer. The desired information is written by the first and second RFID read / write means using the first and second frequency bands different from each other for the first and second RFID inlets. Therefore, there is an effect that it is possible to cope with RFID inlets of different frequency bands. In addition, since the first and second RFID inlets and the display label are continuously attached between the identification marks, it can be continuously attached to the article, and moreover, to the object to be attached. Adhering the first and second RFID inlets adjacent to each other so that they do not overlap, and overlapping the display label so as to cover the first and second RFID inlets, an “RFID label” is formed. Thus, since one display label corresponds to different frequency bands, there is an effect that the reading / writing mode for the article is expanded.

図4は、動作状態を説明するフローチャートである。 同図に示すように、ステップS01にて、物品51が到着したかを判定する。すなわち、ベルトコンベア50上を「被貼付物」としての物品51が搬送されてきたかを物品検知センサ52にて検知し、物品51の到着を検知したら次ステップ(S02)へ行く。 ステップS02にて、連続体1を搬送する。すなわち、FRIDインレット3への書込み、および表示用ラベル4への印字を行うべく、モータ26を回転して供給軸12より印字部13側へ連続体1を繰り出す。 ステップS03にて、識別マーク5を検出する。すなわち、図3に示すように、搬送路27に設けられた第1の検出手段である反射センサ15(想像線にて図示)にて識別マーク5が検出されたか否かを判定し、識別マーク5を検出するまでステップS02に戻って連続体1の搬送を繰り返し、識別マーク5が検出された場合は、ステップS04へ行く。 ステップS04にて、更に、所定のステップ数、モータ26を回転して連続体1を搬送する。 ステップS05にて、RFIDインレット3が検出されたか否かを判定する。すなわち、第2の検出手段である透過センサ16(図3において想像線にて図示)の発光部16aより光を出射し、受光部16bにて受光する光量が台紙23のみの部分と、台紙2およびRFIDインレット3の重合する部分とで異なることを利用するものであり、光量の変化を検出するまでステップS04に戻って連続体1の搬送を続ける。一方、ステップS05にてRFIDインレット3が検出されたと判定されたときはステップS06へ行く。 ステップS06にて、RFIDインレット3へ所望の情報を書込む。ここで主に図3を参照して説明すると、搬送方向Fに繰り出される連続体1のRFIDインレット3は、RFID読取り・書込み装置17(図3において想像線にて図示)に位置決めされて所望の情報、例えば、物流に使用する場合には、発送日などの日付や送り主、宛先などの情報を書込むものである。 図4に戻って、ステップS07にて、表示用ラベル4が検出されたか否かを透過センサ16の光量で判定し、表
示用ラベル4が検出されるまで連続体1の搬送を続け、一方、表示用ラベル4が検出されたと判定されたときは、ステップS08へ行き、ステップS08にて表示用ラベル4-1(図3参照)に、前記RFIDインレット3へ書込んだ情報のうちの一部(図示の例では、「東京都渋谷区恵比寿○丁目△番地 佐藤 太郎様」)を印字する。 次いで、ステップS09にて、RFIDインレット3への書込み、および表示用ラベル4への印字が終了したか否かを判定する。すなわち、RFIDインレット3への書込み、および表示用ラベル4への印字が正常終了し、次の識別マーク5が反射センサ15にて検出されたか否かを判定し、書込み、および印字が正常終了したと判定されたときは、ステップS10へ行く。 一方、ステップS09にて、RFIDインレット3への書込み、または表示用ラベル4への印字のいずれか一方、あるいは、両方が、正常に修了しなかったと判定されたときは、ステップS14にてエラー表示する。 ステップS10にて、物品51にRFIDインレット3を貼り付ける。すなわち、ここで図3を参照してRFIDインレット3の貼り付けにつき説明すると、剥離板18にて剥離された、所望の情報が書込まれたRFIDインレット3-1は、近接して待機する吸着・貼付け手段21の吸着盤35(図3において想像線で図示)に吸引・保持されて物品51に貼り付けられるものである。 次いで、ステップS11にて、RFIDインレット3-1と同様、表示用ラベル4-1を剥離板18にて剥離するとともに、先の所望の情報が書込まれ、物品51に貼り付けられたRFIDインレット3-1に覆い重なるように貼り付けるものである。 ステップS12にて、RFIDインレット3および表示用ラベル4が貼り付けられたか否か判定し、正常に貼り付けられたと判定された場合は、ステップS13へ行って処理を終了する。 一方、ステップS12にて、RFIDインレット3および表示用ラベル4の貼り付けが不良と判定されたときは、ステップS14にてエラー表示する。 なお、ステップS14のエラー表示は、図示しないブザーなどを鳴動させたり、または、図示省略の表示部にエラーメッセージを表示させたり、あるいは、図示省略のランプを点灯・点滅させるなどの既知の手段にて単独で、あるいは、組み合わせて作業者に知らせるものである。 
FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining the operation state. As shown in the figure, it is determined in step S01 whether the article 51 has arrived. That is, the article detection sensor 52 detects whether or not the article 51 as the “attachment” has been conveyed on the belt conveyor 50, and when the arrival of the article 51 is detected, the process proceeds to the next step (S02). In step S02, the continuous body 1 is conveyed. That is, the motor 26 is rotated to feed the continuous body 1 from the supply shaft 12 toward the printing unit 13 in order to perform writing in the FRID inlet 3 and printing on the display label 4. In step S03, the identification mark 5 is detected. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, it is determined whether or not the identification mark 5 has been detected by the reflection sensor 15 (illustrated by an imaginary line) as the first detection means provided in the transport path 27. The process returns to step S02 until 5 is detected and the conveyance of the continuous body 1 is repeated. If the identification mark 5 is detected, the process goes to step S04. In step S04, the motor 26 is further rotated by a predetermined number of steps to convey the continuous body 1. In step S05, it is determined whether or not the RFID inlet 3 is detected. That is, the light is emitted from the light emitting unit 16a of the transmission sensor 16 (illustrated by an imaginary line in FIG. 3) as the second detecting means, and the light amount received by the light receiving unit 16b is only the mount 23 and the mount 2 The difference between the overlapped portion of the RFID inlet 3 and the RFID inlet 3 is utilized, and the flow returns to step S04 until the change in the light amount is detected, and the continuous body 1 is continuously conveyed. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S05 that the RFID inlet 3 has been detected, the process proceeds to step S06. In step S06, desired information is written into the RFID inlet 3. Here, mainly with reference to FIG. 3, the RFID inlet 3 of the continuous body 1 fed out in the transport direction F is positioned by an RFID read / write device 17 (shown by an imaginary line in FIG. 3) to be a desired one. Information, for example, when used for logistics, information such as date of shipment, sender, destination, etc. is written. Returning to FIG. 4, in step S <b> 07, whether or not the display label 4 is detected is determined based on the light amount of the transmission sensor 16, and the continuous body 1 is continuously conveyed until the display label 4 is detected. When it is determined that the display label 4 is detected, the process goes to step S08, and a part of the information written to the RFID inlet 3 in the display label 4-1 (see FIG. 3) in step S08. (In the example shown in the figure, “Ebisu, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo ○ Chome △ address Taro Sato”) is printed. Next, in step S09, it is determined whether writing to the RFID inlet 3 and printing on the display label 4 have been completed. That is, writing to the RFID inlet 3 and printing on the display label 4 are normally completed, and it is determined whether or not the next identification mark 5 is detected by the reflection sensor 15, and writing and printing are normally completed. When it is determined that, go to step S10. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S09 that either or both of writing to the RFID inlet 3 and printing on the display label 4 have not been completed normally, an error display is displayed in step S14. To do. In step S10, the RFID inlet 3 is attached to the article 51. That is, here, the attachment of the RFID inlet 3 will be described with reference to FIG. 3. The RFID inlet 3-1, which is peeled off by the peeling plate 18 and in which desired information is written, is adsorbed waiting in the vicinity. The suction means 35 (shown by imaginary lines in FIG. 3) of the sticking means 21 is sucked and held and attached to the article 51. Next, in step S11, as with the RFID inlet 3-1, the display label 4-1 is peeled off by the peeling plate 18 and the desired information is written and the RFID inlet pasted on the article 51. Affixed to cover 3-1. In step S12, it is determined whether the RFID inlet 3 and the display label 4 have been attached. If it is determined that the RFID inlet 3 and the display label 4 have been attached normally, the process proceeds to step S13 and the process is terminated. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S12 that the RFID inlet 3 and the display label 4 are stuck, an error is displayed in step S14. The error display in step S14 is performed by a known means such as sounding a buzzer (not shown), displaying an error message on a display unit (not shown), or lighting / flashing a lamp (not shown). Independently or in combination with the operator.

And paste. As described above, the first RFID inlet 42 for the high frequency band and the second RFID for the low frequency band are provided on the surface of the one pitch P between the identification marks 5 and 5 of the long mount 2 via the adhesive layer. Since the RFID inlet 43 and the continuous body 41 with RFID formed by sequentially attaching the display label 4 sequentially, desired information is written by the RFID reading / writing devices 45 and 17 for the high frequency band and the low frequency band. One RFID sticking device can cope with RFID inlets 42 and 43 having different high frequency bands and low frequency bands. In addition, since the first and second RFID inlets 42 and 43 and the display label 4 are continuously attached between the identification marks 5 and 5 of 1 pitch P, continuous pasting to the article 51 is possible. In addition, since the “RFID label” is formed by overlapping the display label 4 and the display label 4 corresponds to different frequency bands with one display label, the read / write distance to the article 51 is It can be enlarged and read / written from a distance on the belt conveyor 50, and at the time of delivery, it can be read / written at hand by a portable reader.
